My Lady Sharp, having pawned certain jewels belonging to her as paraphernalia for her husband's debt during the marriage, which she claimed to be restored to her, after the dissolution thereof, alleging, that as a married wife cannot oblige herself for her husband or otherwise, so neither can she pawn her paraphernalia for his debt.
The Lords repelled her alledgeance; and found that a wife pawning her paraphernalia, was as effectual as a security given out of land belonging to her in liferent or fee.
